OpenSAML user discussion

[Chad La Joie <>]

Please review the OpenSAML 2 user documentation on configuring the library.

https://authdev.it.ohio-state.edu/twiki/bin/view/Shibboleth/OSTwoUsrManJavaLibIntro

Also, please be aware that OpenSAML2 does not yet have a final version released 
and so changes may occur to the API.  While we greatly appreciate people trying 
out the code and providing feedback we are currently discouraging people from 
trying to use this code in production systems.
